The city of Edinburg has removed a lawsuit filed by one of two police unions in the city that alleges discrimination based on union activity from state court to federal court.

The Edinburg Police Organization announced Thursday that it is not associated with the Edinburg United Police Officer Associations' lawsuit against the city and its president further clarified that the organization feels the litigation is detrimental to the department as a whole. "There are two (2) unions in Edinburg. Us (represented by the Combined Law Enforcement Association of Texas) and EUPOA (represented by the Texas Municipal Police Association)," the Edinburg Police Organization board of directors said in a statement posted on Facebook. "Our three (3) year contract with the city expires this year which means this year the bargaining union (EUPOA) should start negotiating with the city for (the) next contract, instead they chose to sue The City of Edinburg and Chief of Police." EUPOA, the older union of the two, filed a lawsuit on April 9, alleging that Chief Cesar Torres discriminated against officers for participating in union activity and for opposing his proposal to hire an officer outside the department for the job of assistant chief. The city hasn't yet filed a response to the lawsuit. Read the full story at themonitor.com.
